Week 36 of 2014

I once again read books from NetGalley and that I have bought previously. I am tempted to buy books so much, but back to school clothes…well those bills are still haunting me. So this is a good time to go back and get some books caught up before I buy something that just goes into the TBR pile again. Now that we are in week 36, here is a thought…just a little over 15 weeks until Christmas. Time to start gearing up our wish lists!

Delighted Readers Cutting the Budget Rules for 2014

$22.95/month for 2 Audible Credits (Currently have 1) – Changed to $14.95 for one credit a month. Again I cut my budget…and audio book credits.

Taxes are included in book prices

Weekly report on what was spent

Use includes coupon, code, or subscription services

Budget includes ebooks, bound books, and audio books

Books received as gifts, won or bought with a gift card can be included but they cost you nothing since you didn’t actually spend your own money on them. So keep using them and keeping your budget healthy!

How are you cutting your budget but still getting to read everything you want?

Shari is the Delighted Reader. Married to her Prince Charming and mother to two Princesses and one Prince. When she is not slaving away as Cinderella she loves to get lost in the pages of a good book. Never without a reading device and a few good paperback books, because she never knows when she might get 5 minutes to read!

I caught some books on sale so I’ve spent all my budget of $25 this week o_0: Alpha & Omega Vol. 1-2 (graphic novel by Patricia Briggs) $15, Carniepunk Antho $2.50 b/c it contains a few shorts from fav series, The Reunited by Shiloh Walker $1.90 and Cinder by Marissa Meyer $2.99. I know…this will test me, but I’m determined not to spend now that I’ve hit the limit of my budget. It helps that I have a nice pile of review books to keep me busy.

Need a little challenge?

I started off this book with good intentions. I had chicken and needed a recipe that was just chicken. As the book went on and on I tried to find out where the actual recipes were only to find page after page talking about the Foodi. Gre...

Here's the conclusion of Ian's story. Or at least for now. Everything is a shit show and nothing looks good. How can everyone come out of this since it doesn't look good? We figure it all out in the beginning of the end. Hea...
